Meet my first little Stan
After browsing all of the gorgeous pics of these lovely stans on here, I picked up this little Stanhopea saccata on eBay. I also ordered a Stanhopea graveolens and a tigrina 'SanBar Black on White' from Santa Barbra Orchid Estate but they can't safely ship to me till early October :sigh:
So on arrival, I potted it in sphagnam in a 4" net basket that is resting in a clay pot (I'm clean out of basket hangers). There was little new growth when I unboxed it and I just noticed three more little nubbins, and some roots, popping out. I am assuming this is probably 2 years from blooming, maybe one of you know better than I.
I'm keeping it moist but not soggy, and growing it with my light loving bulbophyllums high up under an 80% shade cloth, so no direct light, that gets sun from 10:30-3:30.
How does this sound? Any suggestions?
